** The U.S spearheaded the project, they just used Wakanda as TheFace for it to make it more an international effort instead of the American team of superhero are now clearly under their own government instead of working for the world. Ross had the papers all ready when T'Chaka made his first speech.

** No, neither the movie nor his plan assumes that literally every single black person in the world will instantly change allegiences. That should be obvious after a few seconds of thought. Wakanda has covert operatives around the world, who according to the plan would radicalize they people they'd insinuated themselves with and other black populations that are disenfranchised and otherwise not happy with their societal situation. He doesn't need literally every single black person on the planet, he just needs enough with high-tech weapons to cause chaos. Also, that it's a bad, short-sighted idea is kind of the point. ''That's what makes Killmonger the bad guy.''

[[folder: How many people did Killmonger expect to rise up?]]* So how many people did Killmonger expect would take up weapons and wage war against their own countries? Did he really expect every black person to go on a killing spree and targeting their white neighbors, friends and coworkers? What did he think black soldiers in the army or police officers would do? Did he really expect Rhodey and Falcon to fight against the Avengers? Both he, and the film's narrative (if we are to fear the villain's plan as an audience), assumes that everyone of African descent was ready to wage race war if given the opportunity.

** In a deleted scene, Okoye does point this out to W'Kabi about how Killmonger freed Klaue, but W'Kabi isn't swayed because he feels betrayed that T'Challa took Klaue to the CIA and UN instead of bringing him to Wakanda.

** First, this troper would like to point out Klaue is not necessarily reduced to small-scale operations. Even if the great amount of vibranium he possessed made him a multi-billionaire, Klaue would jump at any occasion to grab some vibranium and resell it, he's a smuggler after all and an easy business opportunity is not beneath him. The "tiny" vibranium piece from the museum looks like a massive ingot (whereas vibranium ore has been mostly presented like obviously less massive shards) and is still worth a suitcase full of diamonds. Alternatively, his earned billions could have been compounded by the loss of the military equipment he's had in his ship hideout when he fled.

** This (different) troper rather got the impression that Klaue had been on the run since the events of Age of Ultron, probably unable to get to his accounts even if they still exist. His crew may have largely bailed out on him, considering that associating with him resulted in a full-scale battle between the Avengers and a group of killer robots aboard their secret smuggling ship, which, hence, is no longer so secret... so he most likely lost the ship as well, confiscated by the South African government. (Governments tend not to like smugglers.) A lot of the resources he had must have gone into replacing his arm. The vibranium theft is a good job for someone in his position. Except for the way it ended up.

* The intro narration states 5 tribes SETTLING Wakanda but that was before the goddess turned one of the Warrior Shamans into the Black Panther and he became king. It said 4 of the original 5 tribes united under his rule and the Jabari separated off. Clearly at that point, after the narration stops, the Royal Tribe/Golden Tribe/Panther Tribe was formed (the descendants of the first king). If the first king had many children, and those children had many children, and all of his descendants were considered a part of the Royal Tribe, then they'd always have a pool of heirs to choose from, even if the main royal line dwindled down. For example, if T'Challa and Shuri both passed on without having children, and we know from this movie that T'Challa killed his only cousin, then the Royal Tribe would probably look at who from their tribe had the next best claim and put him forth. That's also probably why there's a challenge system in place during the coronation.

** The ''world'' doesn't have all the info that we do. They might know that Ultron used Vibranium, but they ''do not'' know that Wakanda is "rich" with the stuff; they probably don't even know what Cap's shield is made of. Do not confuse [[FourthWallMyopia viewer knowledge with in-universe common knowledge]].

* Donít they make a big deal out of the fact that tribes can only challenge Black Panther on the specific day of the correnation? If so, then why is Killmonger just allowed to waltz into Wakanda and challenge TíChalla the way he does? I donít see why everyone else canít just go, ďNah, you canít do that. Youíve missed your chance!Ē.

* In the Black Panther movie, the world believes Wakanda is a isolationist Third World country with no rich resources and few exports yet in the other movies like Age of Ultron and Civil War, the world knows that Wakanda is rich with Vibranium since it was the metal Ultron used in his insane plans and what Captain America's shield is made of. So why does the movie have conflicting information about Wakanda pretending to be a poor nation with nothing when in secret it's technologically advanced and rich with Vibranium when the previous movies reveal it's that one isolationist nation the world knows has the rare but expensive Vibranium? Even Bruce was able to get old records of the Klaue family rivalry with the Black Panthers online.

** They do so in the film: Shuri and Ramonda are quick to point out that T'Challa doesn't actually have to accept Killmonger's challenge, but the recent revelations and his own guilt compelled him to do so.
